Zinedine Zidane: Samir Nasri is our greatest hope for the future

France legend Zinedine Zidane believes Arsenal’s Samir Nasri is the future of the French National side as he described the 23-year old as the “greatest hope” for the future of his country.

When the midfielder and Englishman Theo Walcott were not selected by their respective countries for last summer’s World Cup Finals, few would have though they would have bounced back from one of the most disappointing chapters in their careers in the way they did, yet the two Arsenal players are enjoying their best season in an Arsenal jersey.

The Frenchman is according to many the best player in Arsene Wenger’s side and with fourteen goals scored in all competitions, he is the team’s best goalscorer ahead of Theo Walcott and Marouane Chamakh, on ten goals.

This season, the 23-year old won the PFA Fans’ Player of the Month for the month of December as well as the EA SPORTS Player of the Month awards on the Club’s official website for the months of October, November and December.

On Nasri’s future, Zidane said:

I truly think that Samir has a big career ahead of him. For me, he represents the future of the France team, our greatest hope for the future.
